[English]

Whoa oh oh oh, don't you know I could buy you a rose

Or maybe a daisy 'cause lately you seem into those

Whoa oh oh oh, I guess that works for them, I suppose

But wouldn't you rather have something that matters with me?

Whoa oh oh oh, you're more than a feeling

Whoa oh oh oh, you're something I'm needing

And if you feel lonely and left out with nothing to do

I'd love to be a something to you

I'd love to be a something to you

I'd love to be a something to you

There's something 'bout the way you move

There's something in the way you groove

There's something you don't know you do

That makes me feel my feels of you

There's nothing more amazing

Nothing feels more unbelievable

Than when I say I love you

And you say to me, "I love you, too"

So baby boo, please fall through

Please call me when your plans fall through

You could dance on me with your hands on me

When your man's on leave, put my hands on you

I don't care if you hate me

I don't care if you love me

I just wanna be your buddy

I just wanna be that something to you

Whoa oh oh oh, you're more than a feeling

Whoa oh oh oh, you're something I'm needing

And if you feel lonely and left out with nothing to do

I'd love to be a something to you

I'd love to be a something to you

I'd love to be a something to you

Whoa oh oh oh, don't you know I could write you a song?

And it'd probably go like this

And wouldn't take me very long

And whoa oh oh oh

Though a world would probably sing along

But wouldn't you rather have something that matters with me?

And it goes like

Whoa oh oh oh, you're more than a feeling

Whoa oh oh oh, you're something I'm needing

And if you feel lonely and left out with nothing to do

I'd love to be a something to you

I'd love to be a something to you

I'd love to be a something to you

I'd love to be a something to you
